1000 Flowers for the Planet - #357 Write a Love Letter

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #357 Write a Love Letter

There’s already plenty of bad news all around the world.
Wouldn’t it be lovely to receive something pleasant for a change, perhaps even
something really meaningful? Instead of waiting to receive something
wonderful, give something wonderful. Write a love letter to the most
important person in your life. Tell them how much they mean to you. Let them
know why you fell in love with them in the first place and what you have grown
to love about them all the more over the years. List everything about them that
you adore, all their idiosyncrasies that make them unique and give you reason
to love them. Tell them what you appreciate about them, the things they do and
say that mean so much to you. Tell them what you hope for your future together.
Tell them how your world would be affected if they weren’t part of it. Let
someone know they are loved.

People could stop and think how THEY might feel if THEY received such a wonderful gift of a love-letter from their husband/wife/lover/partner. Put yourself in the shoes (or slippers!) of the one you love, and think about the buzz they'd get to read such powerful words and recall shared memories. Imagine being responsible for putting that sparkle in their eyes and fizz in their heart - then go and write such a letter!

By the way, with my husband working FIFO (2wks away, 1wk home), we miss each other terribly, and speaking on the phone every night is just not the same as having your lover & best friend there in the house with you.I posted a card to him, care of the hotel he's staying at. The manageress waited until the fellas were at dinner to give it to him, and all the waitresses gathered around the table to watch him open it and break into a big soppy grin. The girls all melted and hubby was declared a "sook" and a "softy", but everyone got warm fuzzies from something as simple as a card that just read "You float my boat and rock my world".

About Me

I am a writer, emerging artist, quiltmaker and public speaker. My current art installation is a work in progress, titled "1000 Flowers for the Planet". Every day, for 1000 days, I will blog one flower with a positive suggestion for how we can improve the planet - environmental, social, moral and ethical ideas. Please join me on this journey, send me your ideas for further suggestions and feel free to comment. If everyone took up only 1% of the ideas (i.e. 10 new actions), imagine the shift in the world!!
